Hi, my Name is Eric,
So today, my right (passengerside) headlight would not flip open. This may have been due to freezing, I am not sure. The problem is that I twisted the manual control knob. Following that the lights worked fine except that the motor to the passenger side light would not turn off. I ended up disconnecting the motor, but have no idea what to do from here. Any Advice? does anyone know what I should do?

thanks for your time,
Eric

There are rebuild kits avaialable for the series I headlight motors. The 87 &88 kits are about $10 but those are series II. The rebuild job isn't too hard, You'll just remove the headlight bucket and over haul the motor.
